TheMamaLisa,
I don't normally read this thread, but I wanted to chime in. We did a grade skip last year from kindergarten to second grade for our son who tests at DYS levels, though we haven't applied. He was reading well at about a 5th grade level and doing math between 3rd and 4th grade level as a kindergartener. Second grade was a challenge in terms of independence, writing and organization. Math, reading, spelling, content areas were not a challenge, but he has actually enjoyed school this year and goes willingly. We anticipate needing additional acceleration in the future, but the one grade skip has helped for now. We are currently thinking that we will enroll him in a private school in fifth grade that goes through high school to allow him access to high school math classes more easily and seamlessly. We decided we want to "save" an additional skip for later on, and not hurry through elementary school since middle school is where things are really lockstep in terms of curriculum.
